Danny is our dedicated test resource, with a background in accessibility and inclusive design. He conducted the first Umbraco CMS accessibility audit and has been doing regular retests with each release, creating a backlog of accessibility tickets for the community to work with. He also confirms when issues have been successfully fixed and merged into the core. He is continuously adapting his processes and finds huge value in working with the team and community, which has allowed him to continue doing what he loves: spreading the word on the importance of accessibility to all users.
Jan is always trying to think about semantics and accessibility on the different projects he works on. That’s why it felt natural to start focusing on and improving the accessibility of the Umbraco backoffice, with the understanding that there are both low-hanging fruits and more challenging issues. It’s fun and very rewarding to help out since you learn and cooperate with various friendly people from around the globe, and it brings insight and perspective that you can transfer to your everyday projects. The more accepted PRs the team has, the better we sleep at night knowing we are improving the experience for everyone.
Although Matt originally had limited accessibility knowledge, he joined the team with the goal of becoming more accessibility-aware. While this goal has now been reached, there is always more to learn and consider. He has done a few PRs and has a reasonable knowledge of the back office code base to support others in their efforts. Matt can be found on Slack with the rest of the team.
